The box was covered with a layer of red soft silk, on which was placed a ginseng with a red silk thread tied around it.
Concubine Liang smiled and said, "This is a hundred-year-old ginseng."
"I was afraid it would run away, so I tied it with a red string."
Emperor Dewu nodded slightly, "You are thoughtful."
"Please accept it for Xi'er. She seems to like it very much."
Emperor Dewu looked at Concubine Xian, who immediately asked Qiuxiang to take it. "Thank you, sister."
Fortunately, Concubine Liang was not here to take advantage of someone's misfortune.
Empress Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, we're all family, why are you being so polite?"
Concubine Liang waved her hand indifferently. Her family was in the medicinal materials business, so this was nothing to her.
Just as he was speaking, the eunuch's announcement came from outside, "The Queen has arrived!"
Concubine Liang was stunned for a moment. Queen?
Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes and said, "Let the Queen come in."
As soon as the Empress came in, she bowed to Emperor Dewu and said, "Your Majesty."
"I went to the Imperial Study, but Your Majesty was not there. I guessed that Your Majesty might be here."
Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang also hurriedly bowed, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
The Queen waved her hand and said, "We are all sisters, no need to be polite."
"Yes!" The two stood up straight.
Emperor Dewu asked her, "Why did you come to see me?"
The Queen smiled and said, "Last night there was thunder and lightning, which frightened me to death."
"When I woke up, I saw the lightning striking towards Concubine Xian. I was worried that something had happened to her, so I went to the Imperial Study to ask His Majesty to come, but I didn't expect His Majesty to arrive even earlier than I did."
As she spoke, the Empress added sarcastically, "I wonder if something foul has entered Concubine Xian's house. In previous years, I've never seen lightning strike any concubine's courtyard!"
"Four months ago, there was a heavy rain with thunder and lightning, but nothing like this happened..."
"I am just worried. This might be an unlucky sign."
“That’s…”
"Now that I see that Concubine Xian is fine, the heavy stone hanging in my heart has finally fallen."
Empress Xian: ...
Yuchi Xi rolled his eyes.
【You can just say I'm unlucky. 】
"That was four months ago! Aren't you implying that I'm unlucky? You might as well just say there haven't been any happy events in the palace since I was born!"
"Why don't you mention that the magpie on your roof hasn't had any chicks in the past few months since I was born?"
【It's all my fault! 】
Yuchi Xi became even more sarcastic.
Emperor Dewu almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Empress Xian also had a hard time enduring it.
Xier, you have such a clever mouth!
Very good. I don’t have to worry about Xier suffering any harm in the future.
Concubine Liang couldn't stand the Queen's weird attitude.
"Oh, I didn't find anything dirty in Sister Xian's bedroom last night. There was nothing dirty before, and there was nothing dirty just now. But after the Empress came, there was something dirty."
"Oh, if only there were a bolt of lightning at this moment, it would surely strike that filth away!"
"Isn't that right, Queen?"
What the hell, how dare you say that to the little princess?
The Empress's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Liang Fei, you have never liked to compete with others. Why did you change your temper today when you came to Concubine Xian's place?"
Concubine Liang chuckled, "I've always been like this. I don't like to compete with others. You say that as if the Empress knows me very well."
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you many times in a year!"
Her Majesty the Queen: ...
This person is stubborn and stubborn.
"Liang Fei, are you sure you want to talk to me like this?!"
Concubine Liang nodded. "Could it be that the Empress has an ear problem? I've said so much, and you haven't heard it yet?"
Are you sure?
Does she need confirmation?
She said it all.
The Queen almost fainted from anger.
Just then, there was a loud noise outside.
Concubine Liang cried out, "Ah! I've been here for so long and haven't been struck by lightning. How come there's thunder outside as soon as the Empress arrives?"
“Oh~~~”
Concubine Liang smiled meaningfully, "I understand, because the Queen is so filthy!"
Her Majesty the Queen: ...
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Dewu was enjoying the show when he was suddenly called. He was stunned for a moment before clearing his throat and saying, "Hmm?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"The Queen has always been kind and honest, and knows how to handle things. Do you really need me to help you with such a small matter?"
The Queen's mouth twitched fiercely, "No need..."
"I just wanted to tell Your Majesty that Bin'er should be back soon. I'll go back to the palace first."
Emperor Dewu hummed, "If you want to leave, just bow and leave. Do you really want me to see you off?"
Queen: ...
The queen looked at Emperor Dewu with grievance, picked up her handkerchief to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, covered her face and left.
“Tsk!”
Concubine Liang tutted her words and spat in the direction she left, "Who dares to wrongly accuse the little princess?"
Emperor Dewu: ...
"I didn't expect that Concubine Liang would have such a temper."
"Before, I was wrong."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Liang froze, covering her mouth and laughing. "Hateful! What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Why don't I understand?"
Concubine Liang blinked innocently and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the national treasury is in a tight spot. My father sent me some money some time ago."
"I will give Your Majesty one hundred thousand taels of silver later!"
